Far4 to Close
By Seattle Mag July 11, 2014
The Seattle shopping scene is being dealt a glancing blow this weekend: the exquisite, avant garde, boundary pushing and endlessly interesting Far4 is closing its doors.

Enjoy a glass of bubbles and toast Klimenkoff and her next adventure and while she’s not having a big closing sale (much to our chagrin), she will be offering 10 to 15 percent off select items.

The Best Gifts for Travel Lovers
Tinsel, eggnog, mistletoe, and luggage
Travel lovers are the easiest people to buy for. Wrap a gift in old maps and they’ll spend hours deciphering the roadways and important coordinates. Put something inside the wrapping that will satiate their wanderlust, or encourage it, and you might be their next invitee to Paris.
